I started having this issue about 3 months ago. I accidentally reset the BIOS to its original hardware defaults, and it caused some instability issues.

So I put the BIOS settings back the way they were and tried many other different configuration as well.

I got new memory sticks, tried other hard drives, new computer case, new motherboard, new video card, new power supply.

I reinstalled windows, but still it continued crashing.

I tried to run perfmon /report, it loads the Resource and Performance Monitor Window, and the Report Status says "Collecting data for 60 seconds" but it never actually does anything. System Diagnostics is empty in Computer Management too.

So I'm not sure how to get you that info, but I have Sysnative report attached.

· OS - Windows 10 x64 · What was original installed OS on system? - Windows Vista· Is the OS an OEM version (came pre-installed on system) or full retail version (YOU purchased it from retailer)? Full retail· Age of system (hardware) I've replaced everything but the CPU recently, and the CPU is about 2 years old.· Age of OS installation - have you re-installed the OS? Yes, about 2 months ago, trying to fix this.

Your UEFI/BIOS (version P1.20) dates from 2016. Please check at the manufacturer's website to see if there are any UEFI/BIOS updates available for your system. This is just in case there has been a more recent update.FYI - W8 and W10 communicate more with the UEFI/BIOS than previous versions of Windows, so it's important to ensure that the UEFI/BIOS is kept up to date (and that outdated UEFI/BIOS' may be the cause of some compatibility issues).

Only 3 Windows Update hotfixe installed. Most build 114393 (1607) systems have more than this. Please visit Windows Update and get ALL available Windows Updates.The actual number is not important. Rather it's important that you checked manually, installed any available updates, and didn't experience any errors when checking or updating.

I'm late for work - but suspect a hardware issue here (maybe graphics card?)

Out of 13 memory dumps there were 7 different BSOD (aka STOP or BugCheck) error codes. The differing error codes are usually symptomatic of a lower level problem within the system. They are usually caused by one of these things (the list is not in any sort of order):- borked (broken) hardware (several different procedures used to isolate the problem device)- BIOS issues (check for updates at the motherboard manufacturer's website)- overclocking/overheating - You'll know if you're overclocking or not. If uncertain we can suggest things to check.- dirt/dust/hair/fur/crud inside the case. Blow out the case/vents with canned air (DO NOT use an air compressor or vacuum as they can cause damage to the system)- missing Windows Updates- compatibility issues (3rd party hardware/drivers), older systems, or even pirated systems- low-level driver problems- or even malware (scanned for when we ask for hardware diagnostics from http://www.carrona.org/initdiag.html or http://www.carrona.org/hwdiag.html ).

I've been running through your suggestions these past few days, and I haven't run into anything odd, except when I ran AMD OverDrive and did a CPU "Stability Test". The test runs between a few seconds and 3 minutes, but then the test ends and says "Hardware Failure Detected". Does this mean my CPU is bad?

I did some research on my CPU (AMD FX-9590) And it looks like a lot of people are having these problems with this CPU.

I finally got it to be somewhat stable by underclocking my CPU with AMD OverDrive to 4400 mhz using a 22x multiplier. Then, I decreased the voltage to 1.4625.

Another thing I did that seemed to help the stability was disable two of the CPU cores. I did this by going to msconfig, boot tab, advanced options, check "number of processors" and set it to 6. I also enabled PCI Lock in that window as well.

This made it stable, but I was still having some framerate drops, and stuttering in games every minute for about 5 seconds. I noticed that my frequency would drop to 1400mhz at the same time my games would stutter. I went into BIOS settings and disabled "Cool N Quiet" because the frequency was dropping to 1400mhz whenever it got over 47 degrees. This stopped the frequency from dropping like that.

I should probably re-enable cool n quiet, and then underclock it more so it doesn't overheat, but I'm not sure I want to gimp the processor that much just so it will run a little cooler.
